An LLS bulletin late on Wednesday said:

Current region specific flood warnings

What should I do?

Where safe to do so based on current conditions:

· Move stock to higher ground, away from known flood prone areas that won't be cut off from access;

· If access may be cut make sure there is sufficient fodder available on site to sustain stock for an extended period;

· Source agistment if possible, in the local area;

· Move stock early, as roads may be closed and access limited;

· Avoid having to do anything with stock in water;

· Lift pumps and move machinery and equipment to higher ground;

· Ensure fodder supplies/storage's are accessible; 

· Never drive, ride or walk through floodwater;

· In a life-threatening emergency call 000 (triple zero);

· For emergency help in floods and storms, call the NSW SES on 132 500;

· Listen to the designated emergency broadcaster ABC Central West and/ or your local radio for further information;
